Question

I am using the following below code to round the corners of RelativeLayout. I save this as mybackground.xml in drawable folder.
It’s working fine for rounding the corner but the problem is that I also want to add an transparent image as a background of my RelativeLayout. How can I achieve both things? How can I use an image and a drawable xml (for rounding the corner) at the same time for a RelativeLayout …

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
       android:shape="rectangle" android:padding="10dp">
   <corners android:bottomRightRadius="30dp"
            android:bottomLeftRadius="30dp"
            android:topLeftRadius="30dp"
            android:topRightRadius="30dp" />
</shape>

Answer 1

You can use Layer-List

It will be like this

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
  <item>
    <shape android:shape="rectangle" android:padding="10dp">
    <corners android:bottomRightRadius="30dp"
             android:bottomLeftRadius="30dp" android:topLeftRadius="30dp"
             android:topRightRadius="30dp" />
    </shape>
  </item>
  <item><!-- your transparent image --></item>
 </layer-list>
